Maze Runner: The Death Cure (also known simply as The Death Cure) is an upcoming American dystopian science-fiction action thriller film directed by Wes Ball, based on The Death Cure, the final book in The Maze Runner trilogy, written by James Dashner, with a screenplay by T.S. Nowlin. It is the sequel to the 2015 film Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and the third and final installment in the Maze Runner film series.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure was originally set to be released on February 17, 2017, in the United States by 20th Century Fox, but the studio rescheduled the film for February 9, 2018 in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D, allowing time for Dylan O’Brien to fully recover from his injuries sustained on-set.

Production

In March 2015, it was confirmed that T.S. Nowlin, who co-wrote the first and wrote the second film, is set to adapt The Maze Runner: Death Cure.[1]

Wes Ball confirmed that, if he returns to direct, the film will not be split into two movies.[2]

On September 16, 2015, it was confirmed that Ball would return to direct the final film.

Filming

Principal photography began on March 14, 2016, in Vancouver.[3][4] Previously it was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con International that filming would begin in February 2016.[5]

On March 18, 2016, it was reported that actor Dylan O’Brien was injured on set and was hospitalized. James Dashner announced via Twitter that the production was postponed after the accident.[6] It was said that the producers were “looking to” resume filming around mid-May.[7] According to the Directors Guild of Canada’s production list, the film was scheduled to resume filming on May 9, and complete principal photography on July 26. However, on April 29, 2016, production was shut down indefinitely as O’Brien’s injuries were more serious than previously thought.[8]

Filming resumed on March 6, 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa.[9][10][11] In May 2017, it was announced that Walton Goggins would play the part of Lawrence, described as “an unusual and dangerous character who is part-revolutionary, part-anarchist, and a voice for the voiceless people.”[12] Principal photography wrapped on June 3, 2017.[13]
